At Egedeniz Textile, we believe in the power of transparency and ethical craftsmanship. Our commitment to ethical production and socially responsible practices is the foundation of our work. Through our “I Made Your Clothes” photo series, we aim to showcase the skilled individuals who bring our high-quality textiles to life while acknowledging the broader narrative of garment worker conditions.
The “I Made Your Clothes” Initiative: A Story of Skill and Context
The “I Made Your Clothes” initiative was born out of the tragic events in Bangladesh, which highlighted the urgent need for improved safety and fair working conditions within the global garment industry. These events underscored the critical role of social workers in ensuring ethical and humane practices throughout the textile supply chain.
Social workers play a vital role in advocating for workers’ rights, providing support and resources, and promoting safe and healthy working environments. They work closely with garment workers to address issues such as fair wages, safe working conditions, and access to healthcare. Their efforts are crucial in creating a more just and equitable industry.
